Cooking through deep-frying is something that a lot of people usually do not try at home and instead rely on fast food joints and other eateries. In fact, cooking through deep-frying is actually quite easy, that is, if you know how to do it.
How a Deep Fryer Works
It is important to read the deep fryer instructions carefully because different fryers work in different ways. You will also need to have the correct oil to cook with because oils need different cooking times and the results vary depending, which oil you use.
Pour the oil into the deep fryer, keeping it well below the indicated max fill line. If there is no max fill line, check the instructions. For more details www.breakfasts-recipes.com You will need enough oil so your food is immersed but do not fill it right up because your food will displace some of the oil.
There will be a temperature control on the machine, either a button or a knob. Some fryers let you know when the oil has reached the right temperature but if your machine does not have this feature, you will need to use a thermostat or drop a cube of crustless white bread into the fryer. If it turns golden brown after one minute, the oil is at the right temperature for deep-frying.
If the oil is too hot, the food will be cooked on the outside and still partially raw inside. If the oil is not hot enough, the food will soak it up and come out soggy.
Put the food into the fryer, using a slotted spoons or tongs if there is no basket in the fryer. Do not put too much food in at once because this cooking method is fast and cooking in batches is quick and easy.
If you are frying frozen food, try to brush off as many ice crystals as you can because they can cause spattering when they come into contact with the hot oil. For more details www.chef-123.com .Close the deep fryer lid if there is one, while the food cooks. Keep an eye on the clock to time your cooking and then remove the cooked food with the basket, slotted spoon, or tongs. Drain it on paper towels to absorb excess grease.

Chicken is one of the most popular foods for deep-frying because this cooking method gives such great results.

Season the chicken very well. I like lemon pepper and poultry seasoning with some seasoned salt. Marinate the chicken in eggs and buttermilk. Dip the chicken in self-rising flour dip once more in the milk mixture and shake in a paper bag with seasoned flour. Hope you like.

Cajun Oven-Fried Chicken:
Panko, fresh crunchy Japenese breadcumbs, can be found at Asian markets. They produce the crispest oven-fried chicken, so it’s worth the effort. You can try curry powder in place of the Cajun seasoning.
1/3 cup low-fat buttermilk
1 tablespoon salt-free Cajun seasoning (such as Spice Hunter)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
2 chicken breast halves (about 1 pound), skinned
2 chicken drumsticks (about1/2 pound), skinned
2 chicken thighs (about 1/2 pound), skinned
Cooking spray
Preheat oven to 400°.
Combine first 3 ingredients in a shallow dish. Place panko in a shallow dish. Dip chicken, one piece at a time, into buttermilk mixture; dredge in panko.
Place chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly coat chicken with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 40 minutes or until done, turning after 20 minutes.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 breast half or 1 thigh and 1 drumstick)

3/4 C Bisquick baking mix

This is the most basic and works every time:
Heat grease (not oil) such as Crisco plain to medium high, then:
2 Cups of Flour
1 Tablespoon (yeah, tablespoon) of salt
½ Tablespoon of pepper
Place in paper bag and shake well.
Rinse chicken with skin and toss in paper bag and shake.
Place in grease gently and crowd pieces together.
Cook until light brown on one side, turn over and cover.
Once brown on the second side, remove cover and turn over chicken again and cook open until done.
Be sure to drain them on a wire rack instead of paper towels.
